An investigation into the circumstances under which 51 year old Manana Dzhabelia died on 2 December in temporary detention is being conducted. We will carefully study its results, in particular, with regard to the medical assistance shown to Mr Dzhabelia, who, as we understand, suffered from diabetes,” said Terry Davis, the General Secretary of the Council of Europe, on 5 December.
He emphasized that, “The growth in the number of deportations of Georgian citizens, resulting from the recent worsening in relations between the two countries, has also raised concerns. Ordinary people must not be held responsible for differences of opinion between governments. “Although the Russian authorities have the full right to enforce the immigration regulations of their country, they must be sure that these laws correspond to the appropriate norms of the Council of Europe and are not applied selectively or inhumanly.”
On 17 October one of a number of Georgian citizens being deported from St Petersburg, 58 year old Tengiz Toronidze, , died at Domodedovo airport while waiting for a Ministry of Emergency Situations flight, which was due to take the group of Georgian nationals to Tbilisi.
